Supreme Court of Puerto Rico

El Pueblo, Demandante y Apelado v. Collazo, Acusado y Apelante

March 27, 191420 P.R. Dec. 203

Summary

The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico affirmed the conviction for disturbance of the public peace and modified the sentence. It held that the indictment charging both disturbance of the peace and calumny does not constitute a duplication defect, and that a fine may be converted to imprisonment at a rate of one day per peso unpaid, not to exceed the sixty days originally imposed.
